Brentford midfielder Ryan Woods has just pipped Ollie Watkins to be named as the Bees' best player of the season so far.

The former Shrewsbury man has had a fine season and produced a dominating man of the match performance against Leeds United last weekend.

And his fine form saw him receive a rating of 8.7 out of 10 from Bees fans.

Ollie Watkins, who has been a revelation since joining from Exeter in the summer, was edged out into second spot with a rating of 8.5.

Josh Clarke may not have been a player many expected to see up near the top this season claimed third place with his versatility no doubt impressing Brentford fans having performed at on both flanks in defence and the midfield with the 'polyfilla' player earning a rating of 8.1.

Nico Yennaris missed out on a podium slot by 0.1 as he came in fourth but still scoring an impressive rating of 8/10. The former Arsenal man has been, virtually, an ever-present this season with his form silencing 99 per cent of his critics.

Yoann Barbet claimed fifth place, just ahead of Romaine Sawyers and Florian Jozefzoon with Dan Bentley, Neal Maupay and John Egan following close behind.

Chris Mepham has impressed Brentford fans with how he has stepped up to Championship football with Kamo Mokotjo improving all the time.

Danish duo Henrik Dalsgaard and Andreas Bjelland follow behind after solid seasons with Rico Henry, Lasse Vibe and Sergi Canos, who have all had injury problems, following them.
